The Lovely Bones Complete Teaching Bundle (AQA KS5)

£25.00Save 32%
16 Resources
This bundle contains a full sequence of lessons for AQA A Level English Literature and Language, covering The Lovely Bones from Chapter 1 through to the end of the novel, alongside contextual and revision materials. Individual lesson content is outlined in detail on the TES shop listings for each resource. The lessons are designed around a consistent approach: student-led analysis supported by purposeful teacher discussion. Rather than relying on lengthy PowerPoint exposition, students are expected to engage directly with the text through annotation, retrieval tasks, character tracking, thematic exploration, debate, planning activities, and exam-style writing. Teacher input is generally used to guide discussion, model analytical thinking, and provide exemplar responses after students have had opportunities to develop their own ideas. Most lessons combine two chapters at a time. Typically, the first chapter within a lesson focuses on the detailed exploration of a character, relationship, theme, or key event, while the second chapter moves towards exam preparation, essay planning, or extended writing practice. This structure allows students to build knowledge before applying it to assessment-style tasks. The bundle also includes a dedicated context lesson, revision-focused resources, and opportunities for students to engage with wider ideas such as narrative voice, symbolism, genre, grief, memory, family dynamics, and reader response. Throughout the scheme, emphasis is placed on developing AO1 and AO2, while integrating AO3 where relevant. Please note that Chapter 23 is not included as a standalone lesson. By this stage of the novel, students are expected to undertake a broader tracking activity, drawing together character arcs, themes, and significant moments from across the text. This omission does not leave a gap in content coverage, as the final stages of the novel are addressed through whole-text revision and synoptic tasks. This bundle is best suited to Year 12 or Year 13 students studying The Lovely Bones for AQA English Literature and Language. It is ideal for teachers looking for a structured, discussion-based scheme that prioritises independence, textual engagement, and exam preparation.

The Lovely Bones: Chapters 19–20 (AQA KS5) This KS5 lesson is designed for AQA A Level English Literature and Language and focuses on Chapters 19 and 20 of The Lovely Bones. The lesson combines character analysis with extended essay practice, helping students develop stronger AO application and exam technique. The first section of the lesson focuses on Abigail, with the central question: “Is Abigail presented as selfish, or as a victim of grief?” Students explore her behaviour across the novel, using evidence from the chapters to develop their own interpretations. The lesson is discussion-based and analytical, encouraging students to consider multiple perspectives before reaching a judgement. Students then examine exemplar responses, breaking down how the Assessment Objectives are applied and identifying what makes an effective analytical argument.

Students respond to an exam-style question on Susie’s significance within the novel, considering her presentation at different points in the text as well as her relationship to themes such as grief, memory, and attachment. The question also encourages students to explore narrative perspective, symbolism, and structural shifts. The lesson provides opportunities for planning, annotation, and extended writing, with a strong focus on understanding how AO1 and AO2 work together in a successful response. Exemplars and AO-focused discussion help students recognise the features of high-quality analytical writing before applying these skills independently.

The Lovely Bones: Chapter 1 (AQA KS5) This KS5 lesson is designed for AQA A Level English Literature and Language and focuses on Chapter 1 of The Lovely Bones. The lesson introduces students to the novel through the contrasting presentations of Susie Salmon and Mr Harvey, while beginning to explore key themes, narrative perspective, and characterisation. The lesson is largely student-led, with students completing independent tasks that encourage close reading, annotation, and discussion. Particular attention is given to how Sebold presents both Susie and Mr Harvey through language, perspective, and structural choices, helping students establish an early understanding of their significance within the novel. Due to the sensitive nature of the chapter, teachers will need to guide discussion carefully, ensuring that conversations remain respectful and focused on literary analysis. The resource is designed to support this by structuring discussion around character presentation and authorial methods rather than the events themselves. Students explore how Susie’s narrative voice shapes the reader’s response, alongside the ways Mr Harvey is constructed as a character through selective detail and perspective. Opportunities for annotation, discussion, and analytical writing are included throughout, with a focus on developing AO1 and AO2 skills from the outset of the text.

Paris Anthology: Gransnet & Linguistic Terminology (AQA KS5) This KS5 lesson is designed for AQA A Level English Literature and Language (Paris Anthology) and focuses on developing students’ confidence with linguistic terminology through the Gransnet text. Unlike comparative Paris lessons, this session centres on strengthening analytical vocabulary and linking language choices to representation. The lesson is particularly suited to classes who are still insecure with terminology or are relying on overly general analysis. Students work through the text with a focus on identifying and applying language levels accurately, while consistently linking observations back to GRAMPS and the representation of Paris. Tasks are student-led and discussion-based, encouraging students to move beyond feature spotting and instead explain how terminology supports meaning, tone, audience positioning, and perspective. The lesson reinforces the relationship between linguistic methods and broader ideas about genre, register, and representation. This resource is suitable for Year 12 or Year 13 students preparing for AQA Paper 1. It works well as a consolidation lesson for AO1 and AO2, helping students build confidence with precise analytical terminology before moving back into comparative writing.

The Lovely Bones: Chapter 16 & Snapshots (AQA KS5) This KS5 lesson is designed for AQA A Level English Literature and Language and focuses on Chapter 16 of The Lovely Bones alongside a broader ‘Snapshots’ revision task. The lesson supports character analysis, thematic development, and exam preparation through independent and collaborative work. Students begin by exploring Ray and Ruth individually, considering how each is presented through language and perspective. This leads into a silent debate, which works particularly well for quieter classes, allowing all students to contribute ideas in a structured, written format. Teachers can choose to share examples from the debate after completion or use the model responses provided within the resource. The lesson then shifts to Chapter 16, where students map the family dynamic, tracking relationships and tensions across the chapter. This supports a clearer understanding of character interactions and narrative development. The ‘Snapshots’ task asks students to create an analytical timeline of key events across the novel, linking moments to themes, character development, and shifts in perspective. This encourages students to see the text as a whole rather than as isolated chapters. The lesson can conclude with either an exam-style question or students creating their own, depending on time and cohort needs. This resource can be delivered across one or two lessons. Suitable for Year 12 or Year 13, this resource prioritises independent thinking, discussion, and exam-focused analysis.

Meantime: ‘Close’ – Scaffolded Practice (AQA KS5) (THIS LESSON IS NOT INTRODUCING THE POEM BUT A REVISION LESSON) This KS5 lesson is designed for AQA A Level English Literature and focuses on Close from Meantime by Carol Ann Duffy. The lesson is a scaffolded response to a recent mock, where students showed GCSE-level analysis, and aims to develop more precise, conceptual A Level writing. The lesson breaks down the Assessment Objectives, with a clear focus on how to construct a strong thesis (AO1) and develop analytical depth (AO2). Students are guided through how to select terminology-based quotations and use them effectively, before being shown how to build on these with layered analysis that links back to poetic voice and meaning. Scaffolding is central to the lesson. Students are supported step-by-step in moving from simple identification of methods to more developed analysis, including how to extend a point, integrate terminology, and maintain focus on interpretation rather than description. This is then gradually reduced, allowing students to apply the same approach independently. The lesson concludes with students attempting their own analytical response, applying the modelled structure and expectations. This resource is suitable for Year 12 or Year 13 students who need support in moving from GCSE-style responses to A Level standard. It focuses on clarity, precision, and building confidence in analytical writing.

LOVE THROUGH THE AGES - UNSEEN POETRY PAIN

£2.50
(1)
This lesson is designed for AQA A Level English Literature and focuses on responding to two unseen poems on the theme of pain and love. The lesson supports students in developing a confident, exam-ready approach to unseen poetry by addressing all assessment objectives (AO1–AO5) through structured planning and comparison. Students work collaboratively to read and annotate both poems, identifying key ideas, emotions, and patterns of meaning linked to pain and love. The lesson encourages students to explore how love is intertwined with suffering, considering emotional intensity, conflict, and vulnerability while forming an initial comparative argument. Close analysis of language, form, and structure is central to the lesson, with students guided to examine imagery, symbolism, sound patterns, and structural choices. Attention is given to how these methods shape emotional impact and meaning, directly supporting AO2. Context is addressed in a flexible way appropriate for unseen poetry, with students encouraged to consider possible contextual influences such as attitudes to relationships, desire, emotional restraint, or loss, while avoiding biographical speculation. This supports AO3 in a controlled and relevant manner. Comparative skills are developed as students plan paragraphs that integrate both poems throughout, focusing on similarities and differences in how pain and love are presented. Students are supported in making conceptual links between the texts rather than treating them separately, meeting AO4 expectations. The lesson also encourages evaluative and exploratory responses by prompting students to consider alternative interpretations of love and pain, ambiguity in tone or voice, and the effectiveness of poetic choices. This supports AO5 and helps students develop confident, critical responses. This resource is ideal for preparing students for the unseen poetry component, helping them practise close reading, comparison, and planning under exam-style conditions while building confidence across all assessment objectives.

To support exam preparation, AO1 is modelled through annotated extracts, demonstrating how to develop clear, structured interpretations supported by textual evidence.
